The church the garden of Christ

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #I.LXXIV (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: We are a garden wall'd around Lyrics: 1 We are a garden wall'd around, Chosen and made peculiar ground; A little spot enclos'd by grace, Out of the world’s wide wilderness. 2 Like trees of myrrh and spice we stand, Planted by God the Father’s hand; And all his springs in Sion flow To make the young plantation grow. 3 Awake, O heav'nly wind, and come, Blow on this garden of perfume; Spirit divine! descend and breathe A gracious gale on plants beneath. 4 Make our best spices flow abroad, To entertain our Saviour-God; And faith, and love, and joy appear, And ev'ry grace be active here. 5 [Let my beloved come and taste His pleasant fruits at his own feast: “I come, my spouse, I come,” he cries, With love, and pleasure in his eyes. 6 Our Lord into his garden comes, Well-pleas'd to smell our poor perfumes; And calls us to a feast divine, Sweeter than honey, milk, or wine. 7 Eat of the tree of life, my friends, "The blessings that my father sends; "Your taste shall all my dainties prove, "And drink abundance of my love.” 8 Jesus, we will frequent thy board, And sing the bounties of our Lord; But the rich food on which we live Demands more praise than tongue can give.] Scripture: Song of Solomon 4:1 Languages: English

Hymnal: A Choice Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs #XXXII (1774) First Line: We are a Garden wall'd around Lyrics: 1 We are a Garden wall'd around, Chosen and made peculiar Ground; A little Spot, inclos'd by Grace, Out of the World's wide Wilderness. 2 Like spicy Trees, Believers stand, Planted by an Almighty Hand; And all the Springs in Zion flow To make the young Plantation grow. 3 Awake, O Heavenly Dove, and come, Blow on this Garden of Perfume; Spirit divine, descend and breathe, A gracious Gale on Plants beneath. 4 Make then our Spices flow abroad, A grateful Increase to our God: Let Faith, and Love, and Joy appear, And every Grace be active here.
